Network Customer Support The Network Customer Support Plan identifies the steps to be followed in resolving the Customer’s concern. The resolution efforts will follow these levels of contact:
• Level One Contact – Factory Authorized Service Center. • Level Two Contact – Comtech EF Data Customer Support. • Level Three Contact – Network Test and Field Support
Procedural Steps
Step Procedure 1 The Customer raises a concern with the Level One Contact.
2 The Level One Contact will perform Hardware repairs and Network Operations troubleshooting in accordance with the Comtech EF Data Service Center agreement.
3 If the Level One Contact is unable to resolve the concern, then the Level One
Contact will inform the Level Two Contact of the concern in accordance with the instructions found within the attached Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department’s document.
4 The Level Two Contact will enter the concern into the Comtech EF Data database and determine whether the concern is a Hardware concern or a Network Operations concern
5 The Level Two Contact will interface with the Level One Contact and provide
the appropriate hardware support and enter all correspondence into the Comtech EF Data database.
6 If the Level Two Contact determines that the concern is a Network Operations concern, then the Level Two Contact will inform the Level Three Contact.
7 The Level Three Contact will interface with the Level One Contact and provide the appropriate support and enter all correspondence into the Comtech EF Data database.
8 If the Level Three Contact determines that there is a Hardware failure then the Level Three Contact will inform the Level Two Contact. Go to Step 5.

On-site Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) measurements are recommended to evaluate potential interference present in the operating frequency band. The area of least interference should be selected for the Antenna installation. Special attention to RFI and EMI should be paid in the vicinity of busy roads, ports, airports, and any facilities using radar.

Note azimuth and distance to potential intermittent or high-power out-of-band sources of interference that may be hard to measure, such as sea ports, airports, busy roads, radar installations, or other high-power line-of-sight transmitters. A separate detailed RFI test may be required for such locations. In the vicinity of radio transmitters and other potential sources of RFI, scan 0-360 azimuth for RF carriers.
Are there potential RFI sources in the vicinity: No ____ Yes ____
If “Yes” note whether there is sufficient area between the antenna and the potential source of interference for a shielding fence: No ____ Yes ____
